Accuracy of rapid radiographic film calibration for intensity‐modulated radiation therapy verification
A single calibration film method was evaluated for use with intensity-modulated radiation therapy film quality assurance measurements. The single-film method has the potential advantages of exposure simplicity, less media consumption, and improved processor quality control. Potential disadvantages include cross contamination of film exposure, implementation effort to document delivered dose, an...
متن کاملDosimetric verification of pre-treatment intensity modulated radiation therapy in the commissioning process
Background: Commissioning tests are recommended before implementing Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. This study evaluated five different plans of IMRT mocks for different modulation indices. Materials and Methods: IMRT tests were done in slab phantom for both 6MV and 15 MV photon energies using a 2D array ion chamber dosimeter. Results: The acceptance criteria were based on 3% /3mm. All t...
متن کاملOptimal sensitometric curves of Kodak EDR2 film for dynamic intensity modulated radiation therapy verification
PURPOSE To investigate the optimal sensitometric curves of extended dose range (EDR2) radiographic film in terms of depth, field size, dose range and processing conditions for dynamic intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) dosimetry verification with 6 MV X-ray beams. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Varian Clinac 23 EX linear accelerator with 6 MV X-ray beam was used to study the response of Ko...
متن کاملThe Quality Control of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for ONCOR Siemens Linear Accelerators Using Film Dosimetry
Introduction Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has made a significant progress in radiation therapy centers in recent years. In this method, each radiation beam is divided into many subfields that create a field with a modulated intensity. Considering the complexity of this method, the quality control for IMRT is a topic of interest for researchers. This article is about the various ...
متن کاملDosimetric verification of micro‐MLC based intensity modulated radiation therapy
A methodology for the dosimetric verification of micro-multileaf collimator MMLC) based intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans intended for stereotactic applications is described. The procedure is similar to that of conventional IMRT patient-specific quality assurance with some notable exceptions. Relative dosimetry measurements are performed with radiographic film, a commercial fil...
